Prodigal Goro-kun

Tang Shuo chased after Yan Qiuer before he stepped out of the gate of the imperial mansion, and asked someone to drive the carriage of the imperial mansion, and took Yan Qiuer to the mansion.

Sitting in the room of the mansion, drinking tea and waiting for Yan Xintang and Lanfeng to return, the more Yan Qiuer looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong with Tang Shuo today.Yan Qiuer always felt that Tang Shuo was a person who had no emotional ups and downs or showed no emotions, but at this time Tang Shuo was a little too restless.

After thinking about it, Yan Qiuer asked, "Guan Tang, do you have something to tell me?"

Hearing Yan Qiuer's question, Tang Shuo immediately looked at Yan Qiuer, opened his mouth in a little panic, and then closed it angrily, but it was not like he couldn't speak.

Tang Shuo's reaction made Yan Qiuer even more curious, and said with a smile, "It's rare to see Tang Guanshi looking so flustered and annoyed, but what did he do wrong?"

Tang Shuo blushed, and directly affirmed Yan Qiuer's conjecture, which was beyond Yan Qiuer's expectation.

"Tang Guanshi just said, if I can help solve the problem, I will definitely help Tang Guanshi, and I won't tell Yansheng."

Tang Shuo's expression became more subtle. After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth, knelt down to Yan Qiuer, lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him."

Yan Qiuer was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Tang Shuo had invited him here to plead guilty, but seeing Tang Shuo's somewhat serious expression, Yan Qiuer had a bad intuition.

"Please, Tang Guanshi. Tang Guanshi must let me know what happened first, so that I can think about countermeasures."

Tang Shuo stood up slowly, looked at Yan Qiuer guiltily, and said, "Mr. Wulang reminded me earlier that my subordinates mixed the pills in the master's cup in time, but..."

After hearing this, Yan Qiuer immediately understood what Tang Shuo meant, and couldn't help but chuckle.Originally, when he reminded Tang Shuo to change the wine, he only intended to ask him to change Yan Sheng's wine, so as not to be tricked by Yan Sheng. As for himself, he had other plans, but Tang Shuo was worried.

Yan Qiuer smiled and said to Tang Shuo: "If it's just this matter, Guanshi Tang doesn't need to be like this. Guanshi Tang is the steward of the Yan family and the steward of Yansheng. You only need to worry about Yansheng. I have left now. The Yan family, my people will take care of my affairs."

"But..." Tang Shuo looked at Yan Qiuer and frowned, trying to explain his thoughts, but he didn't know where to start.It was the first time Tang Shuo had tasted the aggrieved speechlessness, and thought to himself that it would be great if Liang Cheng could be here at this time.

"I know Tang Guanshi's worries." Yan Qiuer smiled at Tang Shuo indifferently, "But even if there is really something added to the wine, it will not be something that kills people, even if King Huai'an's trip is to control the whole The business world doesn't dare to kill casually. Although the status of merchants is not high, not everyone can do business. The King of Huai'an will not be so stupid. The turmoil in the court should not be spread among merchants, otherwise panic will be a bad thing, but Yansheng and I alone are walking on thin ice."

Tang Shuo still didn't understand Yan Qiu'er's intentions, and said puzzledly: "Mr. Wulang is so intelligent, there must be other ways. If the wine is really a strong aphrodisiac, wouldn't Mr. Wulang..."

Even though he had thought about it beforehand, Yan Qiuer still felt a little bit of a shock when he heard Tang Shuo's words and thought of that possibility, but Yan Qiuer suppressed that anxiety in his heart, and smiled at Tang Shuo, "If you say you are confused, Enemy, a thousand lies are not as good as one truth. I will not sit still, I may need the help of Manager Tang in this matter."

Tang Shuo clasped his fists together and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty Wulang, just give orders."

"I... am I not coming back at the right time?" Yan Xintang and Lanfeng stood at the door of the room, looking at Tang Shuo and Yan Qiuer who seemed to be discussing some serious topic for no reason.

"It's okay, the third brother came back just in time." Yan Qiuer immediately raised a smile, looking at Yan Xintang and Lan Feng who had just entered the door, "Is the matter going well?"

Hearing this, Yan Xintang smiled complacently, and Lan Feng also smiled and said: "Return to the Lord, with Lord Sanlang and Cao Canjun here, everything is going well."

Yan Qiuer thought for a moment and asked, "Does the store need to be redecorated this time?"

Lan Feng didn't understand, so he could only turn his head to look at Yan Xintang.

Yan Xintang thought about it carefully before seriously answering Yan Qiuer: "I don't think it is necessary. The business of that brothel is actually good, but the owner is eager to transfer it, so we went and sold it directly. But if Qiuer wants to renovate It’s not impossible.”

Yan Qiuer shook his head, and said: "Although there is still some time before the Chamber of Commerce, each family has gradually entered Luoyang, so the shops here will not be repaired, but will be replaced with plaques of Huayue Pavilion and continue to operate. Troubled third brother to stay in Luoyang for a while, the Luo family has something different, I need someone to keep an eye on the Luo family."

After hearing this, Yan Xintang nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I'm not in a hurry, I'll keep an eye on the Luo family. But what's wrong with the Luo family?"

Yan Qiuer looked at Yan Xintang and said, "Yan Sheng and I suspected that the Luo Shi who came to Luoyang was not Luo Shi."

"What about Luo Shi?" Yan Xintang asked eagerly, "Have you seen Mr. Nan Lang next to Patriarch Luo?"

Yan Qiuer shook his head, sighed and said, "It's only because I haven't met Mr. Nanlang that I doubt him." If he had met Mr. Nanlang today, Yan Qiuer might have believed what Luo Shi said.

Yan Xintang frowned, worried.He has a good relationship with Luo Shi and Nan Langjun, and he really doesn't want anything to go wrong with these two.

"I will contact Luo Shi again about the Luo family's affairs, and I hope the Luo family will be safe. I still need my third brother to help me with one thing." After a moment of silence, Yan Qiu'er spoke again.

"You said."

Yan Xintang's non-inquiry made Yan Qiuer feel warm, and said with a smile, "Because I don't want Yan Sheng to know about this, I can only ask my third brother."

Don't want Yansheng to know?Yan Xintang felt that if Yan Qiuer had something to hide from Yan Sheng, it would never be a good thing.

"I want cicadas from Shu."

"Cicada flower?" Yan Qiu'er said bluntly, but Yan Xintang frowned in embarrassment.

Yan Xintang has also dealt with medicine merchants, so he has heard of this cicadae. The Yan family caravan travels all over the country, and many people have bought it with a lot of money, but this thing is really rare. If there is no chance, no money can buy it. arrived.

"What does Qiuer want cicadas to do?" Yan Xintang looked at Yan Qiuer curiously.

Yan Qiuer smiled slightly, and replied mysteriously: "Catch a fish."

Most of the royal family looked down on merchants, but if they can fully control a country's commerce, it can also affect the prosperity and decline of a country. Yan Qiuer thinks that King Huai'an thought of this, so he started from the place that is least likely to attract the attention of the royal family.

The Chamber of Commerce is a grand gathering of merchants from Lantian Kingdom. It is the best opportunity for many small merchants to get in touch with people like the Yan family. No merchant in the whole country is willing to miss it. This is the best opportunity for King Huai'an to win the entire business community in one fell swoop. .As for the Luo family's changes at this time, it is unavoidable to be suspected.

Ordinary people don't think so much. Coincidentally, before Yan Sheng and Yan Qiu'er, they had contact with Qin Jiu and others in Chang'an City. Knowing about the changes in the court, any disturbance at this time would make the two of them feel strange. alert.Whether it's true or not, it's okay to be on guard.

And if there is something wrong with the wine in the Luo family, it can only be because someone added something to the wine, either poison or Gu.But whether it is poison or Gu, they are areas that Yan Qiuer has never dabbled in, and he doesn't understand them at all.If he doesn't understand, he can only invite someone who understands.And the person who is most proficient in poisonous Gu in Tianlan's country lives in seclusion in the southwest. Unfortunately, Yan Qiu'er had dealt with this person when he was doing business in the southwest in his previous life.

That man is a surly person, well-known in Jianghu, although he has great medical skills, he never sees others. His medical skills are only learned for one person, and this cicada is what he has been looking for for half his life.

Yan Qiu'er remembered that in his previous life he met that person when he was 27 or [-] years old. At that time, he was short of a penny of cicadas, which happened to be bought from Yan Qiuer's hand. Now it is more than ten years earlier, that person He should be only seventeen or eighteen years old. If Yan Qiuer remembered correctly, this was the time when he started collecting cicada flowers.

If it hadn't happened, he would definitely not be able to think of that person, but his own life was at stake, Yan Qiuer still hoped to find the safest person to be by his side.

Yan Xintang and Tang Shuo naturally knew that Yan Qiuer meant to find someone by fishing. As for who he was looking for, Yan Xintang didn't know, but Tang Shuo guessed seven points.

Yan Xintang weighed it carefully, and said to Yan Qiuer: "Okay, since Qiuer wants it, I'll ask my acquaintances in Shu, how much Qiuer wants?"

"Twelve."

Yan Xintang's heart trembled.Twelve taels... Those cicada flowers are hard to buy even for a penny, but Qiuer actually asked for ten taels when he opened his mouth. Not to mention whether he can make it all up, how much would those ten taels of cicadas cost.But Qiu Er helped him so much, and now he only made such a request politely, and he will definitely do his best.Even though he knew that they were not related by blood, he still regarded Qiuer as his younger brother.

Tang Shuo also silently wrote down the twelve cicadas, planning to inquire around behind Yan Sheng's back.

"Please trouble third brother. If there is any news about the cicada, third brother doesn't need to tell me. Just release the news that someone in Luoyang has got the cicada and is about to sell it. If someone comes to buy it, don't rush to sell it." On the occasion of the Chamber of Commerce, it is not surprising that people selling anything suddenly appeared in Luoyang City.

"I understand, don't worry, Qiuer." Yan Xintang is very good at this trick after so many years in business.

After thinking about it, Yan Xintang asked Yan Qiuer again in puzzlement: "But if it wasn't Luo Shi himself who came to Luoyang, who would it be?"

Hearing this, Yan Qiuer's eyes darkened slightly.

Yes, who could it be?Is it the King of Huai'an himself?Does the King of Huai'an still plan to take control of the business world and go straight to Chang'an to force the palace?But if it wasn't the King of Huai'an, who would it be?Besides the Zuo family who had a grudge against the crown prince, who else could be used by King Huai'an?
